A Horseheads man has been jailed after he reportedly assaulted two sheriff’s deputies while they were taking a harassment complaint from a woman who had an order of protection against him.

The woman had an order of protection against Kevin M. Searfoss, 35, of Franklin Street, but she claimed he was still calling and texting her, according to the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s deputies Tom Kimble and Patrick Pirozzolo were in the process of taking a statement from the woman in the Town of Horseheads around 1 a.m. Wednesday when Searfoss again called her, the sheriff’s office reported.

One of the deputies spoke to Searfoss and told him to refrain from any further contact with the complainant, at which point Searfoss terminated the conversation.

As the deputies were completing their interview with the woman, they reported that Searfoss showed up and forced his way into the house.

Searfoss immediately knocked one deputy to the ground and then pushed the second deputy against a wall and then placed him in a headlock, the sheriff’s office reported.

The deputies managed to subdue Searfoss with a Taser and took him into custody. They both sustained minor injuries and were treated at a hospital and released.

Searfoss was charged with first degree burglary, second degree assault and first degree criminal contempt, all felonies.

The investigation is continuing and further charges are expected, the sheriff’s office said.

Searfoss was arraigned in Town of Horseheads Court and committed to the Chemung County Jail in lieu of $200,000 cash bail or $400,000 property bond.
